option law the question of license is
to be submitted in all the counties

most important battles Judge Lau-

work very we'll indeed.

will keep his home at Wahpeton.
He finds many friends at st. Paul
who offer to let him have all the
goods he wants. If the new firm is
established it will undoubtedly do a
